Margarita Zafrilla Olayo — Dancing & Painting

Art & Talking, Chipping Norton
September 2025

This September, Chipping Norton welcomes the extraordinary Margarita Zafrilla Olayo for an immersive experience that blends movement, colour, and conversation in a way only she can deliver.

Known for her innovative cross-disciplinary work, Margarita brings together the visceral energy of dance with the expressive fluidity of painting, creating performances that are as thought-provoking as they are visually captivating.

Part of the Art & Talking series, this event is not just a performance — it’s an open invitation to witness the dialogue between body and canvas. Margarita’s work explores how emotion, space, and rhythm can merge into spontaneous creation, offering the audience a rare glimpse into the process of making art in real time.

Expect a live fusion of movement and mark-making, where the stage becomes both dance floor and studio, and every gesture leaves a trace.

Whether you're a lover of performance art, a painter, a dancer, or simply curious about how art can speak through different forms, this is a must-see event in the local cultural calendar.

Art & Talking is all about breaking down barriers between artist and viewer, and Margarita’s practice aligns perfectly with this ethos.
